Abstract
The Yuhui Site excavated in 2007 through 2011 is an important site of the late Longshan Age with special cultural characteristics, complex cultural connotation and unique vessel assemblage in the Huai River Valley. In this site, the foundation of a large-scale ceremonial mound was revealed, showing that this site was not a pure residential area but played an unprecedented spiritual and religious role in the past. The rich artifacts unearthed from this site provided important physical materials for the researches on the cultural communication and converge in the Central Plains, the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the northern Jiangsu Province and the circum-Lake Tai areas during the Longshan Age. Subject to the tests and researches with methods of natural sciences, Yuhui Site also have the potential of throwing light on the legends and proto-history related to the Mount Tu and Yu the Great, and the understanding of the Huai Civilization.
